● ConservationGlass used in double glazing windows for thermal insulation is known as Low E, or low-emissivity glass. It has a transparent metallic coating that works in two ways to economise heating energy. The dual action coating reflects heat back into the room, while allowing heat and light from the sun (known as passive solar heat gain) to pass through.

● ConservationSome of the most harmful chemicals found in paint are volatile organic compounds, or VOCs.

VOCs are unstable, carbon-containing compounds that readily vaporize into the air. When they enter the air, they react with other elements to produce ozone, which causes air pollution and a host of health issues including breathing problems, headache, burning, watery eyes and nausea. Some VOCs also have been linked to cancer, as well as kidney and liver damage.
